ive got a 2019 Ranger with 80k kms i recently bought, loving the truck so far but at cold start i can feel the engine sorta rumble around a bit enough that i can feel the shaking in the cab, it goes away after 30 seconds or so. Anybody else run into this issue?

Is this something different than the roar of the clutch fan?

Yes ussually happens after shifting into drive on a cold start, get some weird engine shuddering initially

I get a "roughness" (hard to describe) on cold mornings but by the end of the street it goes away. Sometimes it even takes a second to get moving in reverse so I'm thinking cold fluids and haven't been concerned.

Mine has a slight exhaust roar at cold start, the rpms start around 1200 and after 30 seconds it drops below 1000. I don’t put it in gear until the Idle drops. This is normal in both of my Rangers and HPP 2.3 Ecoboost mustang .

It's probably getting colder out in the mornings there and needs to warm up a bit longer. You might not have noticed as much when it was warmer out but it's normal, Kind of sounds like a garbage truck for the first 90 seconds. lol Like Doc I try to warm it up until the idle drops but when I leave sooner I get that sound. Mine doesn't rumble the cab though, the damper must be stabilizing it. ?

Mine is very hard to explain. Id say for a full minute when first started it'll have some RPM "sway", nothing I'm worried about though.
